TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE
At Emerge Psychology Group we take great care to ensure our practice is trauma-informed, promoting a culture of safety, empowerment, and healing.
Trauma-Informed Care understands and considers the pervasive nature of trauma and promotes environments of healing and recovery rather than practices and services that may inadvertently re-traumatize. It is an approach that assumes that an individual is more likely than not to have a history of trauma, recognizes the presence of trauma symptoms, and acknowledges the role trauma may play in an individual’s life. When trauma occurs, it affects an individual's sense of self, their sense of others and their beliefs about the world. These beliefs can directly impact an individual's ability or motivation to connect with and utilize support services.
Trauma-Informed Care follows five Guiding Values/Principles that serve as a framework for how service providers and systems of care can work to reduce the likelihood of re-traumatization. These principles are generalizable across a variety of service settings. Rather than providing a set of practices and procedures, the principles can be interpreted and applied in ways that are appropriate for a specific type of service setting. The Five Guiding Principles are safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness, and empowerment.
Our clinicians are trained in trauma-based interventions, both cognitive and somatic, and strive to understand the whole of an individual who is seeking services while applying the guiding principles in their practice with you.
